Chapter Seventy-Six: Daydreaming (3)

The breeze was clear, the willows were smoking, the white mist was gradually rising, and the picture in front of me was like a reflection of water waves, and all of them disappeared when a gust of wind blew.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by the deep courtyard of the ancient house, and in front of a very magnificent courtyard in the middle of the mountain, I only heard the cry of a woman gradually entering the eardrums, I had adapted to the rapid transformation of these pictures, and stretched out my hand to push open the heavy black lacquered iron door, a strong fragrance of osmanthus refreshed people's hearts, which made people feel shocked.

The night was sluggish, the moonlight was like the water of the Milky Way covering the earth, I stepped on the bluestone road under my feet, crossed the golden osmanthus trees blooming on both sides, and slowly walked into the three-story ancient building in front of me.

Before I entered the door, I heard a woman's undisguised complaining voice from the living room, "Crying and crying, I only know how to cry, isn't it just that I don't have a child, people are still so young, are you afraid that you won't be able to give birth in the future?" Our family's business has plummeted recently, and I'm afraid it's all because of this dead star. ”

An old female voice next to her whispered comfort, "Madam, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you don't get angry." ”

"Hmph, I don't know why Jun Xi is so brainless, he has to marry this mourning star into the family, you said that if he obeys the old man's will and marries the young lady of the Fan family, won't the company's economic crisis be completely lifted, and his status in the family can also be greatly increased, so as not to be crushed by the big house everywhere. Think about it, I've really been moldy for eight lifetimes, how did I attract such a mourning star. ”

I frowned at this, thinking to myself what kind of woman was so vicious. But as soon as her footsteps were raised, she suddenly remembered that she had just mentioned the name of "Jun Xi", Jun Xi Jun Xi, isn't it Chu Jun Xi? Could it be Chu Junxi's mother? So what she has been scolding, is it Zhang Xiaofei?

I couldn't help but speed up my pace and walked into the living room, only to see a lady wearing a gold silk shawl and a Chinese-style cheongsam sitting casually on the black leather sofa in the hall under the soft orange light emitted by the huge European-style crystal chandelier, with her white hands quickly knitting a sweater, while talking to an old woman dressed as a maid next to her.

Judging from the eyebrows and eyes of that noble lady, it is seven or eight points similar to Chu Junxi, and it seems that this is indeed Chu Junxi's home.

I was so dissatisfied with her vicious words that I was disgusted with my heart that I walked up the circular staircase beside me, following the low, timid cry.

The cry was on the third floor, and after walking through a short deep corridor, I pushed open the half-hidden door, and saw a woman in pajamas half-sitting on the bed under the dim lamp, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, crying and wiping, her eyes had swollen to the size of walnuts.

Judging from her appearance, she is indeed Zhang Xiaofei, but her complexion is pale, and she doesn't look like she has just seen a lot of collagen, and her eyes are full of bloodshots, and she looks very haggard.

I thought back to Mrs. Chu's words, and guessed that Chu Junxi ignored the opposition of his family, and even refused to marry the daughter of a rich family, and forcibly married Zhang Xiaofei to go home, but the result can be imagined, she naturally suffered the cold eyes of the Chu family, and the miscarriage had no children, which made her mother-in-law hate her more and more.

Seeing her so pitiful, I felt very sympathetic in my heart, but only sympathy.

But after thinking about it, Sister Zhang was present in every picture before, after all, everything I saw might just be her memory, and if she hadn't even seen the scene, naturally there was no way for me to see it. Strictly speaking, I should be in her memories at the moment, and these memories are probably her obsessions, the reason why she refuses to die with peace of mind, so I have to read them all, only then can I figure out what her wish is? Or find her whereabouts.

When I just figured it out, I heard a loud quarrel downstairs, it was extremely noisy, Zhang Xiaofei was also alarmed, and even stopped crying.

"What do you mean? My daughter married into your Chu family, is she here to be angry? At the beginning, your son begged me for several days, knelt at the door of my house and refused to leave, so I married Xiaofei, but how do you take care of her? This is her first child, why did she have a miscarriage? It's not that you, as a mother-in-law, won't take care of it, otherwise she can have a miscarriage? ”

is a very familiar voice, because of the excitement and loudness, even we on the third floor can hear it clearly, of course, we can immediately recognize this is Sister Zhang's voice.

Sure enough, it was all the memories of her presence, I felt a little emotion in my heart, so I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, a cool breeze blew in my ears, and I turned my head to see that it was Zhang Xiaofei who hurriedly put on her slippers and ran out, it seemed that she was going to persuade her.

After all, one is a mother-in-law and the other is a mother, and she certainly doesn't want the two of them to quarrel like this. What's more, her current situation is so embarrassing, if the parents of the two families can't get along with each other anymore, I'm afraid her life in the Chu family will be even more sad.

I sighed and immediately followed.

Zhang Xiaofei in front of him ran like a gale, which was completely opposite to Fang Cai's sad and sad appearance, which showed that he was really anxious.

We ran all the way to the living room, and we heard Mrs. Chu sneer, unconcealing the contempt in her tone, "Please? I'm afraid that your daughter will hook people and pour ** soup into my family, right? But it's nothing, I heard that your mother-in-law also worked as a dancer in the song hall back then, didn't everyone in the town call you a flower? It's not unusual for your daughter to be able to deceive my family's three souls and not see two souls! ”

Sister Zhang was immediately annoyed when she heard this, and said loudly, "Why do you think you are noble?" You are just the daughter of a small family, and you only became Mrs. Kuo when you climbed to Chu Lin, but don't forget, you are just a concubine, and Chu Lin's main wife lives in Shanghai, and only you live in this rural place as a prestige! ”

"What did you say?" Mrs. Chu threw down the half-knitted sweater in her hand, jumped up and raised her eyebrows, and scolded loudly.

"Am I wrong?" Seeing that she successfully pulled back a game, Sister Zhang inevitably became proud, "Your son is an illegitimate child to put it bluntly, he has no name and no points, my Xiaofei is still wronged when she marries, with her appearance and education, what is it to find a rich son casually?" Don't put gold on your face! ”

"Mom!" As soon as she heard her mother talk more and more excessively, and even Chu Junxi was said to be an "illegitimate child", Zhang Xiaofei's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull Sister Zhang's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't you say it?" What are you doing so late? ”

"What? You had a miscarriage, and I couldn't take the train overnight to see you? Why don't you have one! When Sister Zhang saw that her daughter was so cowardly, she glared at her with hatred, but Mrs. Chu on the other side came to her senses, and locked on Zhang Xiaofei with a pair of cold eyes and asked, "Xiaofei, your mother came to make noise in the middle of the night so much, but you deliberately called to support her, right?" Do you feel aggrieved to marry into our Chu family? ”

"No, no, no, I didn't, my mother is not ......," Zhang Xiaofei's face became more and more pale when she heard this, and she hurriedly waved her hand to explain, but was pulled behind by Sister Zhang, only to hear Sister Zhang ask Mrs. Chu without showing weakness, "Well, since you don't think you have treated Xiaofei badly, then please tell me, why did she not have her first child?" ”

"Mom......" Zhang Xiaofei was so anxious that she kept pulling the corners of Sister Zhang's clothes, but she turned around and glared at her fiercely, so frightened that she could only shrink her neck and dare not say anything more.
